Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra SM-S928BZVQMEA, in stunning Titanium Violet, arrived on my desk promising a significant upgrade.

This Middle East version review focuses on real-world performance and user experience after several weeks of intensive testing.
Key Features
The S24 Ultra boasts a range of compelling features, including the improved camera system with AI optimization, the new Snapdragon processor, and the welcome addition of satellite emergency texting. The vibrant 6.8-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate is smooth and responsive. The 5000mAh battery promises all-day usage, a claim I put to the test.

Performance & Battery Life
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 delivers exceptional performance. Multitasking is seamless, and even demanding games run smoothly. The 12GB of RAM handles everything I threw at it without a hiccup. Battery life, however, was slightly less impressive than advertised. While it comfortably lasted a full day with moderate use, heavy gaming sessions did require a top-up before the end of the day. Fast charging mitigated this somewhat.
Camera Performance
Samsung’s AI-optimized camera system is a significant highlight. The main camera produced incredibly detailed and vibrant images, even in challenging lighting conditions. The improvements to night mode are readily apparent; nighttime photos are significantly brighter and sharper. The zoom capabilities were also impressive, capturing clear details at considerable distances, even at night (Nightography zoom lived up to expectations). The secondary camera also provides good quality for everyday shots.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Exceptional performance, stunning display, impressive camera system with excellent night mode and zoom, satellite emergency texting, ample storage and RAM.
- Cons: Battery life could be slightly better, particularly under heavy usage. Price point is high.
Final Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra SM-S928BZVQMEA is a premium device that delivers on most of its promises. The performance is top-notch, the camera is exceptional, and the inclusion of satellite texting is a welcome addition. While the battery life could be improved, it’s still a solid performer. Considering the price, it’s a top contender in the high-end smartphone market, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a feature-rich and powerful device. The Titanium Violet color is a stylish bonus!
